An idea in the making

I had this idea going when I walked by the postal box service. And as I am in a moving mood (wishing the next seven days I will be writing from a different location) and I got thinking into a new service. You see Kennards, Taxi Box and several others they all have their own idea and there is nothing wrong with them. But what is a student to do? Then it hit me, a new service that could fit those who cannot get a car, or other reasons and these boxes merely fit 4 boxes as such they could fit nearly all the students personal belongings and even if it does not, the idea that a second box was to be rented is still an option. Those who need larger space could fit a normal storage space, it is those with less stuff that fall between wall and ship. The nice part is that most of these places have enough space to either fit these boxes or they could convert one storage space into 10-20 storage spaces. And they idea is to charge these storage spaces $5-$10 a day or optionally $50 a week. There might a requirement that they have to rent THEIR boxes, os that a proper fit is guaranteed and there is a second setting. People who want to move things in part because of car or other reasoning are equally given the options to get out of a bad rental setting could be covered. The locking setting could be your mobile and one setting is that if there is a mobile ‘mishap’ the qcodes (three of them) could be used in the office and the manager could unlock it, or add a 4th code to guarantee unlocking during the day. And app that creates 4 qcodes after the money is posted for the lock and that is when the codes gets deployed. The Three codes (one with an EIMI code, one with a personal ID (like photoID, drivers license or passport) and one free of candles but could contain a password that the user signifies and optionally a location code.

I have seen several settings where it would be a good idea to have such a box at our disposal and in many cases we could have a more generic use for this, not just merely when we are moving, but when we need a place to store something and for these places a $5-$10 er box per person could infuse these people with additional income. I am not discouraging the costs involved, but I reckon that sacrificing one box to create spaces that could generate $150 per day could be a real appeal. And it might catch on, especially in this setting of hardship in many locations. The idea that a person cannot use the needed car until its driver has finished the day is another setting that especially students are given to.

A simple setting that could fetch these storage spaces a tidy coin and it could transfer to Universities, I have seen the inside of a few and the idea to have these storage spaces have a clear abundance of places. And it could be an idea for these universities (especially if they have dorms as well).

So, that’s my out of box thinking (to keep appeased with the subject) and perhaps it is an idea. I don’t know the cost of these postal boxes, but I reckon that it might be feasible to use this idea. So have a great day and it is not time to enjoy some passionfruit juice to stop my aching muscles today.
